Show Notes

Stephen asks Justin what happened in Ephesians, as they start into the final series on Justin's dissertation. In today's episode, they talk through Ephesians 1:3-14, and whether this passage is intended to challenge Roman imperial ideology. Along the way, they discuss difficulties around interpretive ideas like supercessionism and predestination.

Justin gives a refresher on the speeach act idea that "x = y in C" and considers the question of whether the author Ephesians intended to confront Roman or other eschatologies by through the discussion of Jesus the Messiah. In particular, Justin considers the possibility that the Christ inaugurated a second exodus.

Justin and Stephen also discuss books they're reading, plumbing problems, carrying sadness, knowing Jesus through his historical context, and the question of what the church should look like.
